[Twitter Report] Breitbart Sitting on Anti-Cruz Story till After NH Vote
Breitbart Twitter ^ | 02/04/2016 | Twitter

Posted on 02/04/2016 1:03:54 PM PST by Greetings_Puny_Humans

Two days ago Breitbart's Milo Yiannopoulos and Allum Bokhari (the latter's twitter page linked up above) began teasing an "Explosive" Cruz scandal that was supposed to post imminently on Breitbart.com.

According to Allum Bokhari, it would reveal the 'true face' of Ted Cruz and would be "much worse" than the Ben Carson-fraud fiasco currently ongoing. When asked if it would destroy the Cruz campaign, Allum replied he "couldn't say for sure." When asked about the initial delay, he replied that Breitbart is being very careful with the information due to its seriousness, but that the "wait was worth it."

At first I thought maybe Allum and Milo were simply trolling their readership due to the silence for more than 24 hours, but it appears the article really is coming and is indeed quite serious. According to Allum the article was held up in editorial, and now updates his readers with the following:

Allum Bokhari ‏@LibertarianBlue 2h Been told it's a few more days before we can drop the new Cruz goss. Nothing I can do :(

@6ae025af2132401 can't come out for a few days. My hands are tied, and not in the fun way. :(

Allum has been posting 1 or 2 stories a day with no such similar delays, so it appears Breitbart is holding onto the story till after the vote in New Hampshire, probably to avoid accusations of trying to influence the election.

Other than the tweets about it being an "explosive" scandal, Milo and Allum have been entirely mum on the contents of the story, and haven't responded to multiple questions regarding whether Breitbart editors like Ben Shapiro may be trying to suppress it. Nevertheless, there is no indication the story will not be breaking at this point.

Anything reported via a "Tweet" is garbage.

No it isn't. You're just bashing Breitbart and trying to discredit twitter posts from the actual writers because you're desperate to protect Cruz, but there's no point in any of this behavior on your part till after the story posts anyway. Silly.

He lied to a women to get laid. I no that’s shocking to pure as snow, lily white, holier-than-thou Cruzbots, but it happens in the real world.

ThePoliticalInsider.com had the arrest story.

You can still pull it up. Don’t know how long it will be up.

I think the real story is Rubio’s friendship with Angel Barrios. They were supposedly roommates. There are stories about Angel out there that have nothing to do with Rubio. But we need to know if they continued their friendship. If the stories about Angel are true, Rubio may be in trouble for poor judgement on picking friends.

So one who prays (in public) is one who claims to be lily white?

You can't be so stupid that you don't see the contradiction between a man who publicly prays and is deceptive and dishonorable. You're trolling me.

Actually many people who pray are people who except that they are not perfect. You can't be so stupid not to understand that, can you?

In addition to Mazin and Leitch, several fellow classmates who asked that their names not be used described the young Cruz with words like “abrasive,” “intense,” “strident,” “crank,” and “arrogant.” Four independently offered the word “creepy,” with some pointing to Cruz’s habit of donning a paisley bathrobe and walking to the opposite end of their dorm’s hallway where the female students lived.
“I would end up fielding the [girls’] complaints: ‘Could you please keep your roommate out of our hallway?’” Mazin says.
Cruz also angered a number of upperclassmen his freshman year when he joined in a regular poker game and quickly ran up $1,800 in debt to other students from his losses. Cruz’s spokeswoman, Catherine Frazier, said Cruz acknowledges playing in the poker games, which he now considers “foolish.” http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/08/19/ted-cruz-at-princeton-creepy-sometimes-well-liked-and-exactly-the-same.html

If you were just being critical of twitter, that literally makes no sense. Half of our news stories are based on Twitter posts from celebrities or politicians.

I am sure there is a “ton of stuff” on Trump out there. It is because he is a private citizen, and has lived as such his whole life. He is not a person who has been attached to politics for decades and lives to make sure no bad stuff gets out. Even Carson has had some weird stuff come out - and probably more being held in reserve.

I was a Cruz supporter for over 6 months. I donated $1,100 to his campaign, then I switched to Trump. Just saying.... ;>)
